Oh July, you have been mostly full of awesome. Mostly.

Memories of June through Instagrams. A good reminder that I need to use my actual camera more often...

Lots of sun, lots of rain and gloom, backyard BBQ's, a weekend in Yakima with Supermoon, and in the blink of an eye the month ended perfectly with a beautiful wedding, a dance party in a moving vehicle (party bus, oh my!) and a summer heatwave.

Cabin vibes, part two. I cannot wait to go back.
